What Do You Have to Prove in a NY Car Accident Case?

If you are pursuing a car accident claim, you will need to prove that another party caused the crash to the insurance company and their legal team. You will also have to prove you have suffered injuries and compensable losses as a result. Otherwise, the insurance company might deny your request. Proving who caused a car crash usually involves showing how another party’s actions make them legally at fault for the crash.

For example, in car accident cases you need to show that the at-fault driver was speeding, ran a red light, made an illegal turn, or changed lanes without signaling, causing the accident.

Proving fault in a car accident case often requires evidence such as the following:

  • Accident scene photos
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Police reports
  • Surveillance footage
  • Cell phone records

To recover compensation from the insurance company, you also need to prove what losses you incurred due to the car crash. This can include medical and rehabilitation expenses, loss of wages for the period you missed from work and loss of future earning potential, and even personal losses such as physical pain and emotional distress.

In catastrophic cases, where the plaintiff is unable to ever work again (or work in a diminished capacity), expert testimony from a vocational and forensic economist is often necessary. Showing non-financial losses after an accident involves relying on testimony from your treating medical providers, family, and friends regarding the impacts your injuries have had on your life.
